How do people learn to use new technology — and is it different for lawyers & legal technology? On this edition of the Kennedy-Mighell Report, legal bloggers, Dennis Kennedy, Tom Mighell and Adriana Linares, discuss how to break it down so it isn’t overwhelming. Learn where the best resources about technology are and how e-Discovery comes into play for your law practice. Dennis, Tom and Adriana also take audience questions from the mailbag and wrap up with Parting Shots, leaving you with lasting tips and observations. After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis’ blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.

The new show notes wiki for the podcast is also now live at TKMReport.com. Great work by Tom getting the wiki up and going. We’re planning to record another episode later this week, with the lead topic going to be Wolfram Alpha. We also will be looking for audience questions to answer on the podcast. Ask a question by leaving a comment to this post or emailing me at denniskennedyblog @ gmail.com.

New technology seems so intimidating at first, but I suspect that is mostly because we don’t want to look like fools making mistakes while we learn it. We have to remind ourselves that like most things in life, we just need to practice a few times to get the hang of it.
